The Spanish phrases, and when each one fits
Spanish is informal ('tú') almost everywhere a card is involved — family, friends, colleagues. 'Usted' is for a client or an elder you address formally; in Latin America it is more common than in Spain.
- ¡Felicidades por vuestra boda! — “Congratulations on your wedding!”. Spain ('vuestra'); in Latin America, 'por su boda'.
- ¡Vivan los novios! — “Long live the newlyweds!”. The toast everyone shouts — great in a group card.
- Os deseo toda la felicidad del mundo. — “I wish you all the happiness in the world.”. Spain; Latin America: 'les deseo'.
- Que vuestro amor crezca cada día. — “May your love grow every day.”. A sincere card line.
- ¡Qué día tan bonito! — “What a beautiful day!”. If you were there.
- Sed muy felices. — “Be very happy.”. A gentle closing line (Spain); 'sean muy felices' in Latin America.
